Amigo Camilo is one of those authentic seafood gems that captures the essence of coastal dining in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Located on Calle Caleta at La Puntilla, right at the end of the famous Las Canteras beach, this rustic family-run restaurant has built a loyal following thanks to its unwavering dedication to fresh, daily catch seafood. The atmosphere is unpretentious and genuinely local, where the focus remains squarely on quality ingredients prepared simply but expertly. From perfectly cooked cherne and burro fish to succulent squid and the highly praised rejos, everything reflects the day's catch and traditional Canarian flavors.
The restaurant features a charming sea-view terrace where you can enjoy your meal with ocean breezes and authentic island ambiance. Traditional sides like papas arrugadas and gofio complement the stellar seafood selection perfectly. The value for money is exceptional, though booking ahead is essential as Amigo Camilo has earned its reputation as a beloved local institution. If you're seeking genuine Canarian cuisine without tourist trappings, just honest-to-goodness fresh seafood in a relaxed setting by the sea, this is your spot.
